Amendment 12 Proposal for a regulation Recital 22 Text proposed by the Commission (22)
Amendment
In order to reduce delays in the processing of notifica­ tions for the shipment of waste and facilitate the exchange of information between the relevant authorities, it is necessary that the issuance and exchange of information and data, which relates to individual shipments of waste within the Union, be made via electronic means.
It is also necessary to empower the Commission to lay out the procedural and operational requirements for the practical implementation of the systems ensuring this electronic submission and exchange of information (such as interconnectivity, architecture and security).
It is also necessary to provide sufficient time for competent authorities in the Member States and economic operators to prepare for the shift from a paper based approach, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, to an approach to exchange information and documents electronically.
This new obligation should therefore become applicable 24 months after the date of application of this Regulation.
(22)
In order to reduce delays in the processing of notifica­ tions for the shipment of waste and facilitate the exchange of information between the relevant authorities and the economic operators, it is imperative that the issuance and exchange of information and data, which relates to individual shipments of waste within the Union, be made via electronic means.
The central system and the national system should be interlinked and fully op­ erational.
To facilitate the reduction of delays, it is crucial that those systems allow document sharing and contain a fully searchable database of information related to shipments of waste.
It is also necessary to empower the Commission to lay out the procedural and operational requirements for the practical imple­ mentation of the systems ensuring this electronic submis­ sion and exchange of information (such as interconnectivity, architecture and security).
It is also necessary to provide sufficient time for competent authorities in the Member States and economic operators to prepare for the shift from a paper based approach, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, to an approach to exchange information and documents elec­ tronically.
This new obligation should therefore become applicable 24 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, before which access to the central system, in its final version should be granted to relevant authorities for the purpose of testing and learning.
Amendment 13 Proposal for a regulation Recital 22 a (new) Text proposed by the Commission
Amendment (22a) Competent authorities should ensure that there are
alternative procedures as safeguards in the electronic system.
In the event of a temporary failure of the central system, data should remain protected and accessible, and procedures related to shipments should be carried out without unnecessary delays.
